Notable Birds

A variety of birds visit and live in Crater Lake National Park. Read about the crucial role Crater Lake has played in the resurgence of the Peregrine Falcon population in Oregon here.

Crater Lake also has a nesting pair of Bald Eagles. Thanks to safe habitats such as Crater Lake, Bald Eagles were de-listed from the Endangered Species Act in early Summer of 2007. The birds are not a common site at the park, but you can see the eagles within the Klamath Basin Refuge.

The Crater Lake National Park Trust works to help protect, promote, and enhance Crater Lake National Park, its unique water purity, and its value for human inspiration and knowledge.

We envision a future in which Crater Lake National Park is widely recognized as an Oregon icon and a national treasure; in which the Park serves as a thriving laboratory and classroom; and in which every Oregonian and growing numbers of others feel a deep connection to and love for Crater Lake.

In 2006, the Crater Lake National Park Trust was formed as a 501c3 non-profit organization, dedicated to fundraising for special park projects and science education programs.
